TIPS AND FUN FACTS ABOUT CRETE
Useful and fun to know before departure:
-
Dining times in Greece are later than elsewhere, with most restaurants only opening around 18:00 or 19:00 hours.
-
Water shoes are a good idea in the sea: rocky beaches in particular are often home to thorny sea urchins.
-
Mezze are small Greek snacks ordered for lunch or as a starter. They're certainly worth trying!
-
If a car driver flashes their lights at you, don't be alarmed. It simply means they're going to overtake you or are already overtaking you.
